- In a large pot, fry the bacon pieces over medium-high heat until crisp. Drain the bacon on a paper towel and set aside. Pour off the grease and return the pot to the stove.
- Add the onions to the pot and cook over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cauliflower, sprinkle with the Cajun spice and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook, stirring, until the cauliflower starts turning golden brown, another 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture slightly, or all the way if you prefer. (Or use a regular blender; just don't fill too full.)
- In a separate saucepan or skillet, melt the butter. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk to form a paste. Pour in the milk, then continue cooking until it thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the half-and-half.
- Pour the white sauce into the soup. Turn the heat to medium high and bring back to a boil for 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, stirring in the cheese and sour cream until the cheese is fully melted. Stir in the parsley.

- In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, chopped celery, cauliflower, potatoes, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 8 to 10 minutes. Add 4 to 5 cups of chicken broth , or enough to cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 25 to 35 minutes until vegetables are very tender.
- Stir in the cream, cheese, Worcestershire sauce, nutmeg, cayenne, and pepper.
- Using a blender, purée the soup in about 4 batches until smooth. You could also use an immersion/handheld blender right in the pan. Return the puréed soup to the stovetop and heat through, adding more chicken broth if a thinner soup is desired. Taste and add salt, as needed.
- Garnish the soup with a drizzling of extra virgin olive oil, or a chili or garlic infused olive oil. It would also be delicious with flavored croutons, fresh chopped chives, a little diced cooked bacon, or a swirl of sour cream or roasted red pepper puree.

CREAM OF CAULIFLOWER SOUP II
I make lots of cream soups and this is a good 'basic' recipe. I originally made this in 1990 and always make some modifications - we like lots of garlic as reflected in this recipe!! I also add or substitute other vegetables, i.e., broccoli and spinach. I also use potatoes for thickening rather than cream to keep the fat down.

CREAMY POTATO CAULIFLOWER AND HAM SOUP
I have a potato soup recipe I love, but I wanted it to be a little less heavy on the carbs (not carb free, but just less). I decided to add cauliflower to replace some of the potatoes, and we couldn't really tell- plus it tasted great. I don't really measure my spices, so do it to your taste.

CREAM OF CAULIFLOWER SOUP
This is a recipe I came up with after trying a few different Cream of Cauliflower Soup recipes. I think the roasted garlic and the white wine imparts such a wonderful flavor in the soup. I like it to have a little consistency and not to be broth-like so I don't usually need to add any additional chicken broth, however, if you prefer a thinner soup you may need to add a little broth depending on how big your cauliflower heads are. I know it may look a little labor-intensive, but once you taste it I think you will agree it is well worth the time and effort especially if you serve it on a cold winter night.
